F-1 CubeSat is an educational pico-satellite developed by FSpace laboratory, FPT Technology Research Institute, FPT University in Hanoi, Vietnam. The project started in late 2008 and plan to be completed in 2012 with the launch of F-1 into Low Earth Orbit. The satellite is 1U cubesat, carrying a low-resolution camera, a 3-axis magnetometer (developed by Angstrom Space Technology Center, Uppsala University, Sweden) and several temperature sensors.

Battery voltage reading is accurate to 0.01V, values are multiplied by 100. Divide by 100 to get actual value.

Solar cells voltage reading is accurate to 0.1V, values are multiplied by 10. Divide by 10 to get actual value.

Temperature readings from sensors, will be added with 100 before transmission to ensure a positive number so please subtract 100 to get actual value 112 bits, divide to 14 chunks of 8 bits, each chunk becomes one byte
